§ What stations say
Voices from the platform.
- BostonOriginal quote in English
The MBTA welcomes and supports every opportunity to make our system easier to access, especially for riders who depend on it most. I'm proud of the work by Keolis and our System-wide Accessibility team to provide the new NaviLens technology pilot for riders who are blind or with low vision. The ability to access our Commuter Rail stations with confidence further supports riders' independence.

- AmsterdamOriginal quote in Dutch
We zijn met ProRail gaan praten over een proef op Amsterdam Centraal. Bij de verbouwing van het station heeft ProRail de verplichting op zich genomen om blinden en slechtzienden te informeren over de steeds veranderende situatie. Vorig jaar zijn we met de installatie van NaviLens begonnen.
